Organization
The University of North Carolina Asheville offers a singular experience for original minds.
We're the original and only liberal arts campus in the University of North Carolina system. We break down conventions, overcome obstacles, expand horizons. We dare to connect curiosity and critical thinking, courage and challenge, imagination and impact, opportunity and responsibility. When the world looks down, we look up.
We're a public resource that draws on a deep history to make a profound impact—on our students and on the world. We founded the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. Our STEAM Studio helped to produce the largest public art installation ever shown in Times Square. We offer majors and concentrations that re-tool the liberal arts and sciences for new challenges and new opportunities. We live in one of America's great small cities, a mountain town with wit and grit, with an artist's eye and an explorer's heart.
We are the originals. We're rooted in the Land of the Sky, at the intersection of what's known and what's possible. This is an education that's affordable, adaptive, and endlessly relevant. This is an experience where every path leads to a new vista, where there's room for every voice, and where the future is a frontier—vast and bright and close enough to touch.
UNC Asheville's national reputation for empowering human potential is rooted in its unique student-centric public liberal arts and sciences mission.
